It's important,in my opinion,to see the modes like colours of the same tonic. I have made an example with C,so it's more simple to see the differences between the modes.Of course,those are the colours I feel,and you are free to change them as you feel!
For the moment I am talkin' about the modes more used in rock music.
The startin' mode is the ionian.
Click on .LISTEN. for the examples.

C lydian#2	T #2 3 #4 5 6 7	#D-#F	.LISTEN.
C lydian	T 2 3 #4 5 6 7	#F	.LISTEN.
C ionian (major)	T 2 3 4 5 6 7		.LISTEN.
C mixolydian	T 2 3 4 5 6 b7	bB	.LISTEN.
C dorian	T 2 b3 4 5 6 b7	bE bB	.LISTEN.
C harm. minor	T 2 b3 4 5 b6 7	bE bA	.LISTEN.
C aeolian	T 2 b3 4 5 b6 b7	bE bA bB	.LISTEN.
C phrygian major	T b2 3 4 5 b6 b7	bD bA bB	.LISTEN.
C phrygian	T b2 b3 4 5 b6 b7	bD bE bA bB	.LISTEN.
C locrian	T b2 b3 4 b5 b6 b7	bD bE bG bA bB	.LISTEN.

If we build the chords ( T-3-5 ) of every mode,we can see that is possible to use a major chord for ionian,lydian,lydian#2,mixolydian and phrygian major scales.
For dorian,harmonic minor,aeolian and phrygian we have a minor chord.
For locrian we can use a diminished chord.
